Childcare Mordialloc
For families living or working in Mordialloc, finding childcare that feels welcoming, dependable and close to home is an important part of everyday life. At Bayside Early Learning, we're proud to support local families from our two nearby Mentone centres, located just a short drive from Mordialloc.
As a family-owned early learning provider, we understand that every child is unique. That's why we create nurturing environments where children feel safe to explore, build confidence and develop meaningful relationships from their very first day. Open from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Friday, our centres offer flexible long day care for babies, toddlers and kindergarten-aged children, making it easier for families to balance busy schedules without compromising on quality care.
Whether you're exploring childcare options for the first time or looking for a new early learning environment, we'd love to meet you. You're always welcome to book a tour and experience our community for yourself.

Helping our Children Through Play-based Learning Environments
We believe the early years are the foundation for lifelong learning. Our play-based early learning programs encourage children to explore their interests, develop problem-solving and social skills, build confidence and establish the strong foundations they need for a successful transition to school.
Babies & Toddlers
Our dedicated baby and toddler rooms provide a calm, supportive environment where little ones learn through responsive care and play-based experiences.
Babies and toddlers are encouraged by their kinder teacher to explore the world around them, with a focus on developing their confidence and self-regulation.
Pre-Kinder & Kindergarten
Our kindergarten program follows the Early Years Learning Framework. This curriculum is designed to help children strengthen their independence, communication, and social skills, as well as their readiness for primary school.
Our Approach
Our Reggio-inspired philosophy values children's interests. It also encourages learning through play, exploration and discovery.
Our Funded Kindergarten Program
Our Victorian Government-funded kindergarten program provides eligible three- and four-year-old children with access to high-quality early learning and early childhood education while helping to reduce education and care costs for families. The program is designed to build confidence, independence and the skills children need for a successful transition to primary school.

Food & Other Enrichment
As part of your child's care experience, we provide them with delicious, nutritious meals. They are prepared fresh on a daily basis and take into account allergies and dietary requirements.
Aside from food, children are enriched by engaging in interesting experiences, such as nature play, music, creative arts, and hands-on activities. These make learning fun and enjoyable while building your child's confidence and skill development.
Fees and the Child Care Subsidy
Many families are eligible for the Australian Government Child Care Subsidy, which can notably reduce the cost of long day care. Our team is happy to explain how the subsidy works and answer any questions you might have.
Alternatively, you can also estimate your subsidy using our CCS Calculator.
